“We have sent show cause notices to Hardik Pandya and KL
Rahul for their comments. They have been given 24 hours to give an explanation,”
Chairman of the Committee of Administrators that runs the BCCI, Vinod Rai told
PTI.

After the storm his comments created on social media, Hardik
posted an apology on Twitter which read, “After reflecting on my comments on
Koffee with Karan, I would like to apologise to everyone concerned who I may
have hurt in any way. Honestly, I got a bit carried away with the nature of the
show. In no way did I mean to disrespect or hurt anyone's sentiments. Respect.”

For those who have come in late, a netizen listed down the
objectionable statements made by Hardik on Koffee With Karan 6 and shared them
on Twitter. The tweet read, “A thread on all the creepy, misogynist, racist,
and problematic things Hardik Pandya said on Koffee With Karan:

1. KJo: Why don't
you ask women's names at nightclubs? HP: I like to watch and observe how they
move. I'm little from the Black side so I need to see how they move.

2. Hardik Pandya: "When I lost my virginity, I came
home and said, "Main karke aya hai aaj".

HP: "At a party
my parents asked me acha tera wala (women) kaun sa hai so I said yeh, yeh, yeh
(pointing out women) and they were like waah proud of u beta."
